Medium 6 3/4" Tapered Carving Screw[JR-CSM]

$68.95

The tapered part of the screw is turned into a pre-drilled hole in the base or back of the carving and tightened by using the hole in the T handle.

When the screw has penetrated the wood deep enough for secure holding, the rest of the screw is passed through a hole in a bench or a slot on the carving arm. The T handle, which is also the nut, is then threaded onto the screw until the work is pulled tight against the bench. Considerable pressure can be put on the screw by tightening the T nut.

If the carving needs to be rotated, loosen the wing nut and position the carving, then tighten again. No need to drill a deeper hole like conventional carving screws.

* Two sizes, 6 3/4" for small to medium carvings, and 9" for larger carvings

* High quality construction with cadmium plating on the screw
